pattern suggestions for big print? - have fun .....
 

I bought some of this print -- http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail....3-2a59000a2831 -- and several spotty/stripy blenders in purple, yellow, sapphire, orange-red, and green.

I'm looking for quilt ideas that will show off the big print without chopping it up too much. I thought maybe irregular squares with irregular strip borders (you know -- squares that aren't quite square, and strips that aren't quite the same width all the way) but not sure that is the right approach.

I do pretty well with squares, strips, and curves. I can make triangles but if there are too many points coming together at the same place, I will monkey them up. Just so you know LOL .

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

I also see the squares framed is solids drawn from the colors of the print. I see them in different sizes with different width of the frames. I also see a charcoal/black dimple fabric separating the blocks. I also see no border, just charcoal/black with the main pattern binding or for even better impact charcoal/black binding.

BQ pattern from Maple Island Quilts is great. 12 inch squares with strips on two sides.

I love that fabric! Sorry, no suggestions for a pattern, since I'm looking for a big-print pattern myself. Watching your thread, though!

I love that fabric, if I were making it I would make a large panel for the center and do blocks or strips around it. I did that with a quilt I just gave away, she was in love with the fabric and did not want it cut up to much. She loved it when it was finished.

Oh wow - gorgeous fabric!

How about Warm Wishes: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...w=1105&bih=606

You can cut Warm Wishes focal blocks any size you want. Just make sure your other strips total that measurement after subtracting an inch for the seams. My blocks are 7 1/2" , so my three other fabrics are 2 1/2, 3 1/2 and 2 1/2. 8 1/2 minus 1= 7 1/2.

I'm going to try this one someday. http://artgalleryfabrics.typepad.com...quilt-dad.html
